Puzz Ing TUE DOCTORS.
A Man Who W"lks Day and Night
md Rests While Running.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. S.-A poor man
named John Snyder, living with his vie
and chi dren in the woods some miles
back from Dunkirk Ind, when recover
ing from a sickness a year ago last spring
was attacked with cramp in his feet.
which he was only able to relieve by
walking. He has been walk ny in
storm and sun dav and night ever
since. He eats while walking and
makes his few changes OF clothing
while walking, and does the most OF his
sleeping while walking at tue rate of
about two miles an hour A week ago the
proprietor OF a museum brought him to
this city for exhibition. On the train
which brought him here the baggage mas
ter piled the trunks up in the centre OF
the car and he walked around them. Al
the museum be walks in space 100 by
90 feet, Enclosed by a railing. His gait
varies from two 10 six miles an hour.
When he becomes tired he goes faster,
and often runs for ten miles ''In order 10
get rested" His case is attracting the
attention OF the med cal fraternity. Stu
dents of the Onio Medical College OBJ
served MIN continuously for forty-eght
hours in order to satisfy themselves that
no deception was being practIced.
W ednesdsy evening DR.. Zenner,
professor on nervous diseases, in
lecture referred to Snyder's
case. He said the man seems
perfectly rational and is certainly not an
impostor. His disease is different from
any described in the books. During the
forty-eight hours they watched him b
walked all but seven hours, and did
not lie down at all. he saws it does not
rest him bat makes him tired and uncom-
Portable to sit down. said DR.. 4 inner:
''The walking is In itself natural and not
a sign of disease. He walks from mo-
tive. 1t is because he has discomfort
when he rests and is comfortable
while walking. The disease, then,
is not in the walking, but in tn
uncomfortable sensation on account
of which he walks. What the nature Of
that trouble may be cannot be stated
with certainty. 1t is probable that
hypochondriacal sensations are the basis
OF it. The case is most interesting in its
physiological aspects. Weston, the great
walker, is said to have walked 5000
miles in 100 days, which seems almost
marvellous, but TINS man has walked
almost $4,000 miles IN 800 days, and is no
more tired than when he began. There
was one thing which doubtless helped him
much-that his gait is such as TO cause
fatigue to the least possible extent. He
IS as much wonder to the medical pro-
feSsiOn as to the public at large.

Margaret Fuller's Dilemma.

"The Lounger," in the Critic, relates
the following fresh anecdote OF Margaret
Fuller: Zone evening Miss Fuller, with
a friend, took a suburban train To attend
a small soc al gathering. She mad dressed
with unusual care, the finishing touch
h nv a bunch of beautiful dollhouse tiow-
ers, which she wore in her cOrssge. Wuen
the conductor came into the Ger 10 collect
the fares, Margaret suddenly remembered
that her pocketboOk was in the dress she
had left at home. Her companion was in
the same plight as herself and there was
nothing to be done but to explain mat
ters to the conductor. That Off
cial proved oOdurate, owever; the
ladies' were both strangers 10 b i'm, and
their excuse was hackneyed and trans
parent, he would he Obliged to leave them
at the next way station. Sua'ching the
bouquet from beneath her cloak, Margaret
rose to her feet with queeulIke dignity
and exclaimed: is there no one in this
car VINO Will purchase these flowers? A
gentleman Instantly came forward and
paid he fares OF the two ladies. but, it is
needless to say, refused to take the bou-
quet. The card which Margaret eX-
changed with MIN, however, he keeps t.
this day. and the incident was the begin
ming OF pleasant acquaintance between

stand and committing perjury. | have
reason to believe that you received as
much money as Duffy did, $4,000

property of your family. Ii it is left
